Have you written a song that you thought would be perfect for a movie theme or end credits song?

The Next Movie Classic is a NEW, FREE, internet song contest that seeks songs relating to traditional movie plots and stories.

With a wide range of lyric themes and musical styles that would be appropriate, (adventure, fun, heroism, humor, goodbye, hope, love, mystery, reflection, reunions, etc,) TNMC will feature memorable songs that may not always be "cutting edge" according to current music trends, but rather, may stand the "test of time" for years to come.

You are invited to submit your entries and compete for a First Place award of $300 as well as the opportunity to be presented to major label recording artists as well as film and television music supervisors for inclusion on their 2011 projects.

During each of the three consecutive semi-final weeks beginning April 3, 2011, online voters will determine which songs will advance to the final. The final will then be held the week of April 24, 2011.

The Winner of The Next Movie Classic 2011 will be announced May 3, 2010.
